Is reverse osmosis water harmful to our health if consumed for a long period ?!


Question:

Is reverse osmosis water harmful to our health if consumed for a long period ?

This link claims so:
http://www.betterwayhealth.com/reverse-o...

So could you confirm if this is true. If so, is it healthier to drink tap water or some other form of filtration ?


Answers:
the website seems like an advertisement for the alkaline blue ionizer product. Of course, they would try and say the other forms of filtration are not as good as theirs. So obviously, they would disclaim reverse osmosis.

I've never thought of water containing nutrients, but I suppose it's true. But food should contain all the nutrients you need. Water should taste good and should not be contaminated, but I wouldn't count on water for nutrients...I just want my water to taste good and be safe.

If you want a nutritious beverage, drink tea or juice or milk to nutrients.

Of course it's not harmful. It's better than non-filtered water.

Hi,
Even I am looking for a good water purifier to install at my place. My sister is a physiotherapist and she told me not to go for Reverse Osmosis. She claims that vit B12.. which is present in water and non veg food gets filtered by RO. Also you can get that from non veg but that amt will be quite less as we dont take non veg or other food as frequently as we take water. She claims that there are many cases reported at her hospital with B12 deficiancy and all using RO system. :-(
